H. Chandler, of the University ot | Missouri, “is not for me to discuss. However, it is unquestionably true that the effects of co-operative asso- ciations have been to give the con- sumers a steady supply of fruit or produce at a reasonable price. Gen- ; erally the only means by which the | price is raised to the consumer are | by properly distributing the crop so | as to prevent gluts, and by improving | the quality of goods sold. It is evi- ; dent that if a consumer is buying | fruit or produce very cheaply on ac- count of a glutted market when the | glutting could have been prevented by | distribution, some other market is not ' securing all of this product it wants, Roach’s Men Work Overtime. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 14.—The office of the Secretary of State Roach has been jammed for the last month with business incident to changes in the automobile law. Two-thirds of Secretary’s force have been issuing licenses. The new automobile law became operative August.1, but be- fore this date several thousand appli- cations were sentin and they were} passed upon. At the present time 11,000 licenses have been issued and | still the Secretary’s mail is congested | with applications. | The blanks were so arranged as to leave as little room as possible for | mistakes, but they have been numer-| All the State departments are | crowded with work. | The Secretary of State was forced | to move a part of his force into an/| and hot quarters are being utilized.

Improvement in quality | the consumer is always only too glad | to pay for. “The effect, then, of co-operation to the consumer, is to give him a more uniform supply of fruit or produce of better quality. It gives a more uni- | form supply not only because of ' proper distribution, but because it | greatly stimulates the industry, and | better methods in growing and a | greatly increased output.” Mr. Chandler sums up the impor- tant reasons for more co-operation in} | Missouri, through shipping associa-| tions, in the following main points: | It enables small, growers to ship in ear lots. The crop may be distributed so as | | to prevent gluts on the market. | It enables the growers to establish | a brand that will be known in the] markets, and will thus insure better prices. It makes possible better business methods in: dealing with the fruit buyers, transportation companies, and hers.

Memphis, Tenn., Aug 14.—General George Washington Gordon, com- mander-in-chief of the United Con- federate Veterans, former member of Congress from the Tenth Tenesee District, is dead. General Gordon was born in Giles county, Tennessee, October 5, 1836, and was educated at the Western Mil- itary Institute, from which he gradu- ated in 1859. Then he began the practice of his profession, civil engi- neering, until the outbreak of the Civil War. When the Southern States seceded he enlisted in the Eleventh Infantry, Tennessee Guards, and was made drill master. Soon he was trans- ferred to service in the Confederate Army and promoted to the rank of Captain. General Gordon participated in every engagement fought by his com- mand, with the exception cf une at Bentonville, North Carolina, he being a prisoner of war at Fort Warren at that time. Promotion came rapidly, and he was made Lieutenant Colonel, Colo- nel, and in 1864 became a Brigadier General. After the war he returned to Ten- nessee and began the study of law at Lebanon. From there he .went to Pulaski, where he practiced until he went to Memphis ten years later. He was appointed to the Railroad Commission of Tennessee in 1883, two years later he received an ap- pointment in the Department of the Intérior, in which service he remain- ed four years, principally in the In- dian country and Territories west of the Rocky Mountains. He quit the Government service to resume the practice of law at Mem- phis where he has since made his home. Republican Apathy Lessened.
